I'm migrating from a hosted imap server to an internal exchange server.
Much like Outlook, or any mail client, you can't just change form Imap to Exchange - you have to create a new account.
I have the mail migrated to the new server, I can create exchange accounts in mail and they work fine.
What would be neato would be able to move the mail on the client side from the imap inbox, to the exchange inbox, then let the exchange account sync, and delete the imap profile.
My understanding is that Mail in 10.6.x is still using imap for transport, rather than mapi, so I'm thinking there may not be format issues as there would be in outlook.
It seems like this should be easy to do with either a command line or script, but I thought I'd ask here rather than reinvent the wheel.
BTW: I already demonstrated to myself that this is doable by copying emlx format messages from my imap Messages folder, to the Exchange Messages folder.
Presumably, I could do the same thing with folders as well.
Now, I'm just looking to see if there is a script out there already to take some of the drudge work out, for I am a very lazy admin.

nappy: Appreciate the comment, but I've already migrated the email server-to-server - I'm just trying to cheat my way around having to redownload the mail that's already on the client.
I've pretty much given up on that.
I *thought* that I had a workaround by moving hte messages locally and then syncing, but the messages don't actually get sync'd and never show up server side, so I'm just going to have to live with two accounts until the mail is all redownloaded.
